Waterfowl can be kept away from leach ponds through the use of ECC Bird Deterrent Plastic Ball.

In gold mining applications, heap leach pregnant solution ponds must be covered to prevent waterfowl fatalities. The conventional solution has been netting, which is expensive to maintain, is regularly damaged by winter storms and fails to camouflage the liquid surface from the air.

By floating a layer of ECC Bird Deterrent Plastic Ball on the surface, the liquid is camouflaged and birds fail to see the ponds. The balls rise and fall with changing liquid levels and easily accommodate objects such as floating pump barges.
